Abstract:
Two Centuripean vases dated back to the 2th century B.C were analyzed using complementary non-invasive and non-destructive portable XRF and Total Reflectance FTIR spectroscopies. The vases are of great importance since they represent a rare expression of the Hellenistic period. The two vases, a “Pyxis” and a “Lebes Gamikos” decorated with figures of different typology, are exhibited in Salinas archaeological museum in Palermo-Italy. The Pyxis vase consists of three parts: the body, a removable lid and a decoration egg. The Lebes Gamikos vase consists of the body and a non-removable lid. The body and the lid of Pyxis vase as well as the body of Lebes Gamikos vase are decorated with different painting scenes. The state of conservation of the paintings is very poor for both vases.
The aim of the investigation was to identify the used pigments for the decorations and the painting technique, to recognize the retouched areas and, eventually, to acknowledge the authenticity of these vases. XRF and IR analysis were performed on selected points representative of different colored areas. The analyzed points were selected from original and restored areas whose identification was performed with the aid of a restorer.
The decoration resulted by the superimposition of three layers. The inner one is a white layer composed mainly by calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate. The middle layer, red colored, contains iron oxides. The outer layer is patterned with pigments that are common in the Hellenistic period. In some areas, modern pigments were also identified. The decorations were made using a tempera technique, as inferred by the identification of proteins residues by reflectance IR spectroscopy.
One of the most interesting results concerns the identification of two calcium sulfate phases: the gypsum and the bassanite that undergo phase equilibrium promoted by temperature and humidity. The two phases are located only in some areas of the surface while in other only gypsum was identified.
Additional investigations are necessary in order to verify if the presence of gypsum or gypsum and bassanite could constitute a criterion to discriminate original areas from later restoration or falsification.

Il Grand Tour approda in Sicilia a metà del Settecento, sulla scorta dell’interesse per la classicità che le
prime grandi campagne archeologiche in Italia meridionale avevano risvegliato pochi anni prima: una folta
schiera di intellettuali e nobili inserisce l’isola tra le mete irrinunciabili del proprio ‘viaggio di formazione’,
alla ricerca delle antiche radici comuni della cultura europea. La riscoperta dei vasti siti magnogreci
alimenta per oltre un secolo un flusso ininterrotto di studiosi e viaggiatori che si recano in Sicilia per
verificare, misurare, ritrarre dal vivo i luoghi dei poemi classici, e in alcuni casi per partecipare ai lavori di
scavo: questo fenomeno è accompagnato dalla produzione di un’enorme quantità di testi e
rappresentazioni grafiche, che formano un settore specifico della letteratura odeporica europea. Si tratta di
un ingente patrimonio documentario, poco pubblicato e ancor meno tradotto, se non completamente
inedito, che è stato assunto come fonte privilegiata di informazioni.Si sono dunque approfonditi gli aspetti più propriamente inerenti la cultura e la prassi della conservazione del
patrimonio archeologico in Sicilia in rapporto all’immagine che ne hanno colto i visitatori di differenti
periodi storici, nazionalità e formazione culturale. Se si intendono ripensare e riprogettare tutela, conservazione e valorizzazione dei siti lungo le strade del
Grand Tour al fine di incoraggiare una fruizione più consapevole e sostenibile del patrimonio culturale
presente, non si può che attingere al materiale informativo prodotto nel secolo in cui il fenomeno è nato e
si è imposto come passaggio obbligato nella formazione culturale degli intellettuali di tutta Europa. Dal momento che il valore dei singoli siti è strettamente legato al loro essere parte di una rete, e l’insieme
della rete presenta un indiscusso carattere di unicità sotto il profilo storico-artistico e paesaggistico, si è
ritenuto di poter proporre il sistema dei siti lungo le rotte siciliane del Grand Tour come entità da
valorizzare nel suo complesso: essa ha rappresentato una fase fondamentale della crescita culturale
europea nei secoli in cui la coscienza della conservazione è nata e ha assunto una forma istituzionale. Non
può essere intesa come insieme di emergenze indipendenti pena la perdita di un importante aspetto
immateriale che lega fra loro i luoghi e che oggi potrebbe diventare catalizzatore di sviluppo locale.

Customer service excellence (CSE) is the common thread that binds all businesses; as without customers no trade can take place. The South African retail sector is one of the drivers of the economy and it is important that CSE is continuously monitored to ensure that standards of excellence are maintained. What remains unknown and unmeasured is the impact of the employees and the organisation on CSE. The retail sector is dependent on its customer facing employees to be the face and character of the store. Investment in advertising and other media exposure must ultimately be tested when a consumer visits a store and experiences the CSE on the ground and in real time. The investment for the retailer becomes worthwhile if the real face of the company reflects the promises made in the media; and that is in the hands of the men and women who work in the stores. This study sought to find out the impact of employees and organisations in the Centurion mall based retail stores on CSE. Literature was reviewed and quantitative and qualitative research methods was undertaken by means of questionnaires that were distributed to the staff and management of national branded stores in the malls around Centurion. The results obtained were then discussed in terms of each variable tested. The study found that organisational commitment, employee education and employee training have a strong relationship to customer service excellence.

The historiography of early Islamic Spain has become polarised between the Arabic narrative histories and the Latin sources. Although the Arabic sources have little directly to say about the situation of the conquered Christians, a willingness to engage with both Latin and Arabic texts opens up a wide range of material on such controversial topics as acculturation and conversion to Islam. This thesis examines a number of texts written by or attributed to Christians living in Al-Andalus before the fall of the caliphate, early in the eleventh century. It begins with two eighth-century Latin chronicles and their wholly Christian response to the conquest and the period of civil wars which followed it. The reliability of Eulogius' testimony to the Cordoban martyr movement of the 850s is considered in the light of Alvarus' Vita Eulogii and other evidence. Tenth-century Cordoba is briefly described as a backdrop to the later sources. The passions of two Cordoban martyrs of this period show that hagiography allowed for different accounts of dissident Christians. The status of bishop Recemund as the author of the Calendar of Cordoba and the epitome of 'convivencia' is re-evaluated. The translation into Arabic of Orosius' Seven Books of History Against the Pagans is set in the context of other Christian texts in Arabic. The final chapter considers the episodes in Ibn al-QuTiya's History of the Conquest of Al-Andalus dealing with the Christian population, and especially with the Visigothic family from whom he may have been descended. Whilst an attempt is made to draw this material together, the result is a series of Christian perspectives on the Islamic conquest, rather than a new narrative of cultural survival or assimilation.

This thesis argues that the scale of independently motivated geographical mobility within Italy during the 3rd-1st centuries BC was much greater than is usually thought, and that the impact of this type of movement on political developments was correspondingly more significant. The study of this private phenomenon, affecting the demographic face of Italy independently of Roman state control, also provides a new perspective on the wider process of transformation in this period, restoring as it does the element of individual choice. The thesis begins by distinguishing the type of independent mobility in which it is interested from other types of population movement in the same period, before providing a brief review of work on mobility in Roman Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean world. Chapter 2 examines the various types of evidence for the phenomenon: literary, epigraphical, and archaeological. Two central chapters exemplify the phenomenon - and its connection to economic change - using the full range of literary, epigraphical, and archaeological evidence to reveal patterns of mobility in two chosen areas: southern Latium, with the focus on the two important sites of Minturnae and Fregellae, and the region of the Po Valley. The final section examines the relationship between the picture of a high level of mobility, as revealed in the case studies, and the political context of Roman rule in Italy in the middle Republic. First, it is argued that the so-called ius migrandi never existed as a privilege of the Latins, but was instead a restriction placed on colonies to maintain their demographic stability. Second, it is suggested that the difficulty of preventing individual migration had seriously disruptive consequences, especially for communities suffering from emigration in the 2d century, which in turn contributed significantly to the strain on Rome's middle Republican framework of control in Italy.

The aim of this paper is to investigate how two Pauline pericopes (Gal 3:21–26 and Rom3:21–24) can help us to understand Matt 8:5–13. The paper has four research questions: Whatdid the role of πίστις (“faith” or “trust”) played in Roman culture in general? What role did itplay in the centurions’ relationship to both superiors and subordinates in the Roman’s army?Which principle of faith does Paul establish in Gal 3:21–26 and Rom 3:21–24? How canPaul’s principle be used as a key to understand the faith of the centurion in Matt 5:8–13? Tofind the results of the four research questions, the paper used qualitative method throughsocial-rhetorical Criticism and narrative method. The results of this paper show that theGreco-Roman society was immersed in the ideology of patronage where there was always abeneficiary and a client. Πίστις means two sorts of relationship, one that was vertical and theother that was horizontal. Paul presents πίστις as the one who has divided the time in twoperiods. the old period that was under the power of sin and the new period that is under thepower of faith. The purpose of God was to save the whole creation through πίστις Χριστοῦ.Believers in πίστις Χριστοῦ are the coheirs of Abraham as “spiritual” descendants. Finally,Πίστις Χριστοῦ unites people of different social and ethnical status as one family. Thus,according to the Matthean point of view, the people who do not believe in πίστις Χριστοῦwill be judged by God.

This thesis investigates the role of queens in ninth and tenth century Italy. During the Carolingian period the Italian kingdom saw significant involvement of royal women in political affairs. This trend continued after the Carolingian empire collapsed in 888, as Italy became the theatre of struggles for the royal and imperial title, which resulted in a quick succession of local rulers. By investigating Italian queens, my work aims at reassessing some aspects of Italian royal politics. Furthermore, it contributes to the study of medieval queenship, exploring a context which has been overlooked with regard to female authority. The work which has been done on queens over the last decades has attempted to build a coherent model of early medieval queenship; scholars have often privileged the analysis of continuities and similarities in the study of queens' prerogatives and resources. This thesis challenges this model and underlines the peculiarities of individual queens. My analysis demonstrates that, by deconstructing the coherent model established by historiography, it is possible to underline the individual experiences, resources and strengths of each royal woman, and therefore create a new way to look at the history of queens and queenship. The thesis is divided into four main thematic sections. After having introduced the subject and the relevant historiography on the topic in the introduction, in Chapter 2 I consider ideas about queenship as expressed by narrative and normative sources. Chapter 3 deals with royal diplomas, which are a valuable resource for the understanding of queens' reigns. Chapter 4 analyses queens' dowers and monastic patronage. Chapter 5 examines the experience of Italian royal widows. Finally, the conclusive chapter outlines the significance of this thesis for the broader understanding of medieval queenship.

This thesis explores the relationship between the many literary texts referring to the deaths of Ugo d'Este and Parisina Malatesta, who were executed in Ferrara in 1425 in accordance with an order by Niccolò III d'Este after he discovered their incestuous relationship. The texts are divided in three categories: (1) the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italian novellas and their translations; (2) the seventeenth-century Spanish tragedy; and (3) the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Romantic works. Although these categories divide the various texts chronologically, they also represent a thematic grouping as the texts within each category share common themes that set them apart from those in the other groups. While the various texts all tell the same story, each approaches the tragedy slightly differently based largely on the audience for which it was intended. Thus, the time and place of each text greatly affects its telling. Still, the fact that substantial differences exist between texts that were produced in both geographic and temporal proximity suggests that these are not all-determining factors. Although scholarship exists analyzing individual texts, a comprehensive study of the literary accounts relating to the tragedy has never been undertaken. Rather than detracting from the story, the differences put forth in each of the literary texts enrich the global reading experience by offering many perspectives on the tragedy. In addition, these differences influence how the reader reacts to each of the other texts. Familiarity with one version of the story changes the way a reader approaches the others. A parallel reading of the different versions of the story also shows the power culture has on interpretation. Texts referring to a singular event from one time and place sharply contrast with those that are the product of other circumstances.

"Feminized Farmers: Native American Views of English Colonists in the Virginia Chesapeake 1607-1623" This paper argues that Native Americans in the Chesapeake viewed the English men as feminine because of English male agriculture labor. The written records of the Jamestown settlers reveal what English colonists thought of the Native Americans. But the Native Americans left no written record of their views of the English. This paper seeks to uncover the Native American view the English colonists who established Jamestown from 1607-1623. By using the English written accounts to track the actions of the English, we can understand what the local Native Americans saw the English doing. For example, the writings of John Smith or William Strachey reveal not only English opinions, but a record of English actions—actions local Native people observed and used to draw conclusions about their new English neighbors. of particular importance was English men’s agricultural labor. In many Native societies, including those around Jamestown, women performed agriculture labor. This labor and the food it produced was closely associated with women and femininity. Similarities in Native and English farming practices allowed Native Americans to draw direct parallels between Native women’s and English men’s labor. By examining how feminized the English colonists appeared and how Native Americans responded to the feminized Englishmen, this paper reveals a Native view of the first permanent English North American colony and its inhabitants. ““Inconvenienced in the accustomed manner”: Menstruation in the Eighteenth-Century Native Southeast” The historiography of the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, and Creek nations states that during the eighteenth century, Native American women practiced menstrual seclusion. However, women traveled throughout the Southeast, removing themselves from the physical space of the menstrual seclusion house meaning they could not have practiced menstrual seclusion. Tracing these traveling, menstruating women reveals a new view of Southeastern Native American women's menstruation practices. In this paper menstruation is framed as a physical practice dictated by culture. Therefore the fact that not all women practiced menstrual seclusion reveals something about Native culture as well as about the actions of Native women.

Recent decades have seen proliferating debate about charity and welfare provision. Passing beyond a satisfaction with the welfare state in its mid-twentieth century form, such discussion has been associated with the contested revision of state welfare, with the ways in which public sympathies were drawn to third-world famine and related crises, and with the possible effects of national lotteries upon charitable giving. Historians need to set such modern concerns into perspective, and this thesis is a historically focused contribution towards that. It explores the changing legal, structural and social aspects of charity in Warwickshire. Warwickshire was chosen partly to redress the generalised or metropolitan bias of many previous studies. The county comprised the ancient city of Coventry, the burgeoning conurbation of Birmingham and a varied rural hinterland. It thus provides three very different socio-economic contexts within which to examine the operation of charitable institutions and organisations. The thesis takes a long perspective on charity - bearing in mind the ancient origins and legal forms of charity - although the main focus is on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The period under closest consideration straddles the pivotal decades in English history from the mid-1780s to the mid-1830s, during which there was a major reassessment of social responsibility. This was manifested by much debate on the role of public welfare and private charity, with the poor law enquiries resulting in important legal revisions. At the same time, there was a shift in the foundation of new charities from the endowed to the voluntary form. This transitional period has been little studied by historians of charity, and the present work goes some way towards filling this lacuna. The thesis begins with a review of the historiography of charity and of the theoretical writing on the subject, both historical and modern. Chapter 2 explores the development of the law governing endowed charities, which itself reflected changing attitudes towards charity and its recipients. The next two chapters are detailed analyses of the structures of endowed and voluntary charities, and of the incidence of the two types in Warwickshire. Having drawn out the distinctiveness of these forms of charity, the following two chapters examine their similar objectives. An investigation is made of the ways in which these objectives were pursued by endowed and voluntary charities, organised under the headings of the promotion of religion, the advancement of education, the relief of poverty, and other objects of public utility. Among the concerns here are whether certain objects were more likely to be supported by one form of charity than another, and whether there were any changes over time in the kind of support given. The way in which voluntary and endowed charities interacted with each other and with agencies of the state, sometimes in co-operation and sometimes in competition, emerges from this examination. The final chapter examines the motivations for and meanings of the charitable impulse, and discusses patterns of localism and tradition which informed charitable acts even at the end of the nineteenth century.

This thesis examines the participation of Armenians in the shari'a courts of the Ottoman Empire from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Scholars have traditionally thought that Armenians in the Ottoman Empire resolved their disputes within their own communities' legal systems. However, new studies of Ottoman court records reveal that Armenians in the Ottoman Empire frequently used the shari'a courts to resolve a wide variety of disputes. There are several possible reasons to account for this frequent shari'a court use by a community that theoretically had its own courts. The first is that the Armenian millet's legal structures were perhaps exaggerated or misunderstood by previous scholars. The second is that Islamic law was not as unfavourable to dhimmis as presumed and that the shari'a courts were adequate for their needs. Finally, the way the courts applied Islamic law was sometimes advantageous to certain dhimmis.

The dissertation investigates and describes the pronominal clitics of the Old Lithuanian (forms m(i), t(i)). It also provides a detailed inventory of these forms. On the basis of the collected material, declensional meanings of pronominal clitics are evaluated, the position of the forms in a sentence is defined as well as their position in respect of the word to which the pronominal clitic is adjacent. An overview of the evolution of pronominal clitics and the changes of their usage is adduced.
The theoretical part of the paper discusses the typological parameters and researches of clitics, as well as the verbal and the second position clitics, and the evolution of multi-language systems of pronominal clitics – an intermediate position between the verbal and the second position clitics. The types of the positions in a sentence of the first and the second person pronominal clitics in the Old Lithuanian are determined.
The investigative part of the thesis adduces the usage of the patterns of pronominal clitics in the Lithuanian texts of the 16th-18th centuries, analyzed in detail, in chronological order and according to individual authors. A lot of information about the evolution of the pronominal clitics and the changes of their usage is given on the basis of the editions of different periods of the same text or a set of texts.
Among the other conclusions of the thesis, it is noted that the evolution of the pronominal clitics of the Old Lithuanian is typologically similar to...

Wall paintings survive in many houses dating from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries yet, apart from recording the phenomenon, there has been very little written about them. This research explores how common wall paintings were, what sort of houses had them, when they were painted and most importantly, what was their significance in terms of what they can reveal about the lives of the people who chose to decorate their homes in this manner. Research has concentrated on the Welsh Marches although examples from elsewhere have been referred to. The research hypotheses are: - 1. Wall paintings were much more widespread than existing records suggest and were probably universal where there was money to spend on embellishing a house.
- 2. Following on from this, wall paintings would have been found in houses throughout the social scale, apart from the humblest dwellings.
- 3. The paintings were executed by itinerant painters who used pattern books as a source of design.
- 4. This form of decoration was most commonly found in the period 1550-1625, with few paintings prior to this date and a rapid decline in numbers after this period.
- 5. In some cases there is a connection between the content of the painting and the function of the room.

My Ph.D. dissertation examines the history and archaeology of the monastic institutions of Thrace between the tenth and the late fourteenth centuries. Primarily concerned with the fundamental aspects of monastic life and its modes of interaction with lay society, I sought to investigate the life-cycle, topography and spatial composition of monastic communities in the western hinterland of the imperial capital of Byzantium, the city of Constantinople. My second objective was the investigation of the cultural, economic, and social aspects of the relationship between Thrace and Constantinople as evidenced in the surviving material culture, which consists mainly of architecture and decorative programmes. I followed an interdisciplinary methodology that brings together the systematic analysis of a large corpus of texts associated with monastic institutions -namely wills, monastic foundation documents, monastic archives, letters and imperial laws- with the results of three seasons of archaeological fieldwork. I conducted extensive surveys and recorded remains of monastic complexes including churches and refectories on Mount Ganos (Turkey), on the southern Rhodope Mountains (Greece) and in the cities of Sozopolis and Mesembria (Bulgaria), and explored the cultural ties with Constantinople and other meaningful centers of the Byzantine world.

This dissertation investigates the changes in the legal, economic and political status as well as the topographical location of the monasteries in Constantinople between the fourth and the ninth centuries. Roughly from the late fourth up until the end of the sixth century, there was a gradual increase in the number of monasteries. This trend was counterweighted by almost complete silence in the sources throughout the seventh and the eighth centuries. The ninth century, however, constituted a return to the trend of the early centuries. Monks and monasteries "returned" to the city with a vengeance. This "return" was inevitably linked to the prevailing conditions during the previous centuries marked by, first, the final decline of the late Roman world and its institutions, and second, the Iconoclast controversy in Byzantium between the early eighth and the mid-ninth centuries. Overall, following primarily the evidence preserved in the vitae and the acts of the councils, one can conclude that, by the end of the ninth century, the integration of the monks into Byzantine society was complete. The monasteries had become an integral part of Constantinople and its Christian topography.

This thesis compiles and assesses orientalising artefacts from EIA Crete, which by definition are those that emulate Near Eastern models in design, style or technique. While oriental imports discovered on Crete have been the subject of several recent publications, there are currently no studies that deal with orientalising finds from the island in a similarly comprehensive manner. The aim of the present work is to fill this gap in scholarship and to provide a solid basis for interpretation. Following a multifaceted approach, the thesis offers an in-depth investigation of relevant pottery, terracottas, sculpture and metal finds. These classes of objects are investigated in terms of types, contexts and iconographies; they are then compared to potential Near Eastern models, which are examined in equal detail where appropriate. Based on this evidence, presumed connections to the Near East are challenged or substantiated while novel links are added, offering fresh insights into the meaning of the Cretan material. A critical revaluation of Cretan contacts with the Near East puts gained findings into a larger perspective of socio-political relations. The final part of the thesis suggests a new interpretation of the material, stressing the importance of Cretan agency, cultural self-definition and the multivalent nature of the orientalising phenomenon on the island.

This dissertation analyzed the flourishing of imitative versions of Heloise and Abelard's love correspondence in France in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Current theoretical approaches on epistolarity, narratology, cultural and gender studies were applied to focus on the various transformations (rewriting, veiling, fragmenting) of Heloise's epistles as they fell into the hands of (mostly male) imitators. Close textual analysis was used to investigate how the multiple (re)visions of her epistolary discourse and persona over two hundred years may be indicative of, and have helped construct, ideological changes in expectation concerning the role of women. The introduction traced the historical evolution of the epistolary novel, and the genesis of the lovers' legend in the Classical Age. The medieval love correspondence was initially considered with an analysis of Heloise's dialogic discourse in which the passion is veiled in the palimpsest that is visible under the spiritual language. Particular emphasis was placed on the possibility that Abelard may have altered her epistles as he ignored her desire to see to her salvation. Yet, Abelard was not the only man to intervene in Heloise's epistles. Other subsequent authors practiced what Miller calls "pseudo-feminocentrism" or female impersonation, the technique by which a male author infringes in a "woman's" literary production. In the seventeenth century, many male authors committed a travesty as they invaded Heloise's missives. Grenaille was the first translator to reconstruct Heloise as "La Magdalene Francaise". After this penitent revision of Heloise's persona, Alluis and Bussy-Rabutin effaced her body and reinvented her as a seductive "precieuse". In the eighteenth-century verse translations, Pope and Colardeau also took over Heloise's site of writing, reconstructing her as irrational. But another Enlightenment translator, Louise de Keralio, attempted to repair the learned Heloise, and in the nineteenth century, another woman, under the pseudonym, Marc de Montifaud recovered the erotic body that had been covered by male revisionists before her. The study of these translations over the centuries has demonstrated that Heloise's missives became the site of an ideological "querelle des femmes", and an attempt at constructing "woman".

Lacquer, as a medium for artistic expression, was not readily chosen by Persian artists before the late Safavid period. It was during the Qajar period that delicately painted miniatures on various surfaces drew the attention of the European market to the talent of Persian artists. Although some well known scholars have devoted their time to document artefacts from this period, a systematic study of the techniques and stylistic developments has not yet been produced. The purpose of this thesis is to fill this gap. Qalamdans, mirror cases, book covers and enamels painted by both well known and less well known artists were selected and compared and, with the aid of comparative material, a chronology of stylistic development was established. Attention has been paid to the way artists related to the various surfaces to be decorated, their handling of figural representations, floral depictions and other naturalistic elements, and the influence of the Islamic heritage on the choice of subject matter. The qualitative treatment of large surfaces, such as canvas or walls, and small surfaces, such as qalamdans, book covers and mirror cases was strikingly different. While the figural representations which are depicted on small surfaces and based on foreign models are both delicate and dynamic, those based on live models, such as the ruler or patron or even battle scenes, appear to be stiff. The treatment of perspective is also notably different. It is virtually absent in large pictures, but invariably present on qalamdans and mirror cases. The European influence is discernable in most of the paintings, but each artist introduced his individual approach to the stylistic execution of the subject matter. Artists on the whole preferred to keep the technique of colour preparation to themselves or to hand down the knowledge to their students orally. Interviews were conducted with a number of Persian artists who were willing to provide information about some of the techniques practised by their predecessors, thereby enabling us to gain a valuable insight into the methods used by artists in the Qajar period. Last, but not least, the historical environment and patronage which undoubtedly influenced artists also received considerable attention.

The main goal of this dissertation is the evaluation of the current material from the Iron Age eastern Lithuanian settlements in the context of the settlement archaeology. Historically developed circumstances determined that Lithuanian archaeology nearly from its origins has been oriented mainly towards ethnocultural research. Consequently the material from the burial monuments has been under the greatest consideration, settlement excavations were considered less informative. As the goals of archaeological research are broadening in Lithuania recently, social, economic and ideological aspects of culture are becoming more relevant. Settlement material is essential for the analysis of these subjects. However, as the majority of the settlement excavations were implemented under the different goals with different methods, the employment of their data is complicated. The data is not fully reliable, it requires reconsideration. Methodological aspects of settlement excavation and interpretation of its data are widely analysed in this dissertation. The model of settlement archaeology fitted to the properties of Lithuanian Iron Age sites is introduced here. Data from the Eastern Lithuanian settlements are treated in the context of this model. Problems of the chronology of settlements are under consideration here as well. Pottery from the Eastern Lithuanian settlements was revised for this purpose. The chronological scale with the intervals of 1-3 centuries has been constructed.Disertacijos tikslas – šiuo metu turimos medžiagos iš Rytų Lietuvos geležies amžiaus gyvenviečių įvertinimas gyvenviečių archeologijos kontekste. Dėl taip susiklosčiusių istorinių aplinkybių, Lietuvos archeologijos mokslas beveik nuo pat savo ištakų buvo orientuotas gana siaura kryptimi – būtent į etnokultūrinius tyrinėjimus. Dėl šios priežasties didžiausias dėmesys nuolat buvo skiriamas laidojimo paminklams, o gyvenviečių medžiaga laikyta neinformatyvia. Pastaruoju metu, plečiantis archeologijos mokslo interesams, vis daugiau dėmesio skiriama socialiniams, ekonominiams, ideologiniams klausimams, kurių analizė be gyvenviečių medžiagos jau neįmanoma. Tačiau kadangi dauguma gyvenviečių kasinėjimų vykdyta keliant kitus tikslus, kuriems įgyvendinti taikyta kitokia metodika, šios medžiagos panaudojimas yra gana komplikuotas. Turimais duomenimis ne visada galima pasitikėti, jie reikalauja naujos interpretacijos. Disertacijoje daugiausiai dėmesio skiriama metodologiniams gyvenviečių tyrinėjimų ir medžiagos interpretavimo aspektams. Suformuluotas prie Lietuvos geležies amžiaus specifikos pritaikytas gyvenviečių archeologijos modelis, jis derinamas su turimais duomenimis iš Rytų Lietuvos gyvenviečių. Analizuojama, kokiems klausimams spręsti medžiagos turima daugiau, kuriems mažiau, kokie metodai gali padėti išspręsti aktualiausias problemas. Taip pat disertacijoje daug dėmesio skiriama gyvenviečių chronologijos problemoms, kurios iki šiol dar beveik neanalizuotos. Šiuo tikslu... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

This work is an art-historical appraisal of Anglo-Saxon coinage, from its inception in the late sixth century to Offa's second reform of the penny c.792, and covers all known designs, with several unpublished types. Artistically, this is the most vibrant period of English coinage, with die-cutters showing flair and innovation and employing hundreds of different designs in their work, mirroring the dialectic tension between the old and new order and the changes occurring in Anglo Saxon England. In this iconographical analysis the designs are divided into four main categories: busts (including attributes and drapery), human figures, animals and geometrical patterns, with prototypes, sources of the repertoire and parallels with contemporary visual arts illustrated for each motif. The comparisons demonstrate that coins played a central role in the eclectic visual culture of the time, with the advantages of official sanctioning and wide circulation to support and diffuse new ideas and images. The sources of the motifs clarify the relationship between the many designs of the Secondary phase (c. 710-50), suggesting some cross-border conformity in the iconography. Contemporary literature and theological and writings offer the key to the interpretation of several motifs, hinting at a universal preoccupation with religious themes. Coins from Canterbury (Series K) appear to be linked together in that they represent the Five Senses, more than a century and a half before the Fuller Brooch. The richness of motifs and display of learning point to a sophisticated patronage with access to exotic prototypes, excellent craftsmanship and wealth. It is suggested that ministers, as rich, learned and well-organised institutions, may be behind some of the coinage. After the economic crises of the mid-seventh century this flamboyant iconography was swept away with Offa's reforms of the coinage. Coins were issued bearing his name and title, and the designs, whilst still of high quality, are either busts or purely geometrical.

The Filipino Way of War is the dominant irregular warfare strategy executed by the Filipino warrior throughout the centuries. Armed with severely limited resources, a strong fighting spirit, and deep traditions, the Filipino warrior has always had to look for another method of warfare other than direct and total war. This has led to the indirect path, the path of irregular warfare. This tradition, built upon a foundation of tribal warfare, shaped by resistance to Spanish and American colonization, and honed during the guerrilla campaign against the Japanese occupation, has emerged in the modern era as the predominant Filipino military strategy. Entering the 21st century, conflict in the Philippines has not been focused on external invaders, but on internal division. In this era, both government and anti-government forces have recalled their traditions and experiences and predominantly used irregular warfare strategies, often through unconventional warfare, insurgency, or special operations. As external military influences wane, it is important to understand and prepare the Armed Forces of the Philippines for the future by understanding their past history, so that the Filipino warrior will be better prepared for tomorrow.

This thesis uses Byzantine coins in south India to re-examine pre-Islamic maritime trade between the Mediterranean and south India. Analysis of historiographical trends, key textual sources (the Periplous of the Erythreian Sea and the Christian Topography, Book Eleven), and archaeological evidence from the Red Sea, Aksum, the Persian Gulf and India, alongside the numismatic evidence yields two main methodological and three historical conclusions. Methodologically, the multi-disciplinary tradition of Indo-Roman studies needs to incorporate greater sensitivity to the complexities of different evidence types and engage with wider scholarship on the economic and state structures of the Mediterranean and India. Furthermore, pre-Islamic Indo-Mediterranean trade offers an ideal locus for experimenting with a practical global history, particularly using new technologies to enhance data sharing and access to scholarship. Historically, this thesis concludes: first, that the significance of pre-Islamic trade between the Mediterranean and India was minimal for any of the participating states; second, that this trade should be understood in the context of wider Indian Ocean networks, connecting India, Sri Lanka and southeast Asia; third, that the Persian Gulf rather than the Red Sea probably formed the major meeting point of trade from east and west, but this is not yet demonstrable archaeologically, numismatically or textually.
